You are invited to participate in a brief (10 minute) communion distribution service at Advent the first Sunday of the month. You may come at any of these times: 4:00 PM, 4:20 PM, and 4:40 PM. Please park in the back parking lot and wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth the whole time (except when you are eating or drinking the bread and wine or grape juice). A greeter will take your name and an altar guild member will hand you the prepackaged and sealed communion elements. Ushers will invite you to stand at least 6-8 feet apart from everyone except those in your household or pandemic “bubble.” There will be chairs for those who need to sit. We know it is tempting to get close to and shake hands or embrace other dear church members: please do not do so, we still need to show our love by keeping physical distance.
